A Python module to deal with APNG file.

Features
--------

- Merge multiple images into one APNG file. (It use Pillow to convert images into PNG format)
- Read APNG file and extract each frames into PNG file.
- It doesn't do any optimization but only concat the images. This might be changed in the future.

Dependencies
------------

- `Pillow `__ - **Optional**. You can still use pyAPNG without PIL but it can only read PNG files.

Development dependencies
------------------------

- `pngcheck `_
- See requirements.txt for other dev-dependencies.

Installation
------------

From `pypi `__::

pip install apng

Usage
-----

Convert a series of images into APNG animation:

.. code:: python

from apng import APNG

APNG.from_files(["1.jpg", "2.jpg", "3.jpg"], delay=100).save("result.png")

Use different delays:

.. code:: python

from apng import APNG

files = [
("1.jpg", 100),
("2.jpg", 200),
("3.jpg", 300)
]

im = APNG()
for file, delay in files:
im.append_file(file, delay=delay)
im.save("result.png")

Extract frames from an APNG file:

.. code:: python

from apng import APNG

im = APNG.open("animation.png")
for i, (png, control) in enumerate(im.frames):
png.save("{i}.png".format(i=i))

Add a text chunk to the PNG file:

.. code:: python

from apng import PNG, make_text_chunk

im = PNG.open("image.png")
im.chunks.append(make_text_chunk(key="Comment", value="Some text"))
im.save("image.png")

Performance
-----------

If you want to convert some large JPGs into animation, the library has to convert your JPGs into PNGs then merge them into a single animation APNG file. The problems are:

1. It is extremely slow.
2. The file size of the APNG is extremely large. Probably 5x of the original or more.

In this case, I suggest trying an animation format called "ugoira", which is implemented by Pixiv.net. There is also an image viewer named "HoneyView" which can view it locally.

Changelog
---------

- 0.3.4 (Mar 11, 2020)

- Fix: exclude test files from the package.

- 0.3.3 (Feb 11, 2019)

- Fix: failed to extract frames containing multiple ``fdAT`` chunks.

- 0.3.2 (Jul 20, 2018)

- Add: ``make_text_chunk`` function.
- Add: ``Chunk`` data class.
- Change: now ``parse_chunks`` yields ``Chunk`` instead of a tuple. This should be safe since ``Chunk`` is a namedtuple.

- 0.3.1 (May 13, 2018)

- Add: universal wheel.

- 0.3.0 (May 13, 2018)

- Support Python 2.
- Add: PNG method ``open_any``, ``from_bytes``.
- Add: APNG method ``append_file``, ``from_bytes``.
- Add: module function ``parse_chunks``.
- **Drop: module function `is_png` and `chunks`.**
- **Change: `PNG.open` now only reads PNG images. To read non-PNG images, use `PNG.open_any`.**
- **Change: `APNG.append` now only accepts `PNG` instance. To append PNG files, use `APNG.append_file`.**

- 0.2.1 (Apr 19, 2018)

- Add: support num_plays. (`#4 `_)

- 0.2.0 (Dec 8, 2017)

- Add test.
- Add documents.
- Add: support path-like object.
- Fix: some chunks must appear before IDAT. (`#1 `_)
- Fix: change chunks order in APNG. Some chunks are moved to the end of the file.
- Fix: remove tRNS hack.
- Fix: is_png shouldn't move file pointer. (`#2 `_)

- 0.1.0 (May 30, 2016)

- First release.
